All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I wanted to go to the Dinosaur Museum, so I did some research and signed up for this bus tour. When you book the bus tour, tickets to the Dinosaur Museum are automatically included, which was convenient as I didn't have to arrange anything myself. It was great to have a fun time with the guidance of the bus tour guide. Since I heard that the Great Buddha of Echizen can't be seen during the winter season, I thought it might have been nice to extend our stay at the Dinosaur Museum.

恐竜博物館に行きたかったので、色々調べてこちらのバスツアーを申し込みました。
バスツアーを申し込むと自動で恐竜博物館のチケットもついてくるので、自分で手配する手間がなく便利でした。
バスガイドさんの案内で楽しく過ごせて良かったです。
越前大仏は冬の時期、五重塔がみれないということだったので、恐竜博物館の滞在時間を延ばしてもらってもよかったかな？と思います。

Comments from a foreign traveler on a solo trip.
This was my first time participating in a day tour within Japan.

Since most of the participants were foreigners, the guide provided clear explanations in both Japanese and English without any breaks, covering everything from highlights to food, as well as important notes. There were also some interesting stories sprinkled in, making the otherwise dull travel time enjoyable. Thank you very much.

The female driver was also extremely safe, which was a relief. Those prone to motion sickness will be just fine.

Winter is certainly beautiful, but I believe summer will be lovely as well. I hope to come back someday.

一人旅の外国人からのコメント。
人生初めて日本国内で日帰りツアーに参加。

外国人は殆どのため、ガイドの方は休みなくずっと日本語と英語両方わかりやすく説明してくれました、見どころから食べものまで、注意事項などなど、ちょこちょこと面白い話も出てくる、つまらない移動時間は楽しく過ごしました、誠にありがとうございました。

女性の運転手さんも、超安全運転で助かります。車酔い人も全然ok。

冬はもちろん綺麗ですが、夏場もきっと綺麗だと思います。いつか、また来たいです。

The mangrove kayaking was amazing for the first time!!

Thanks to Kokkō-san's wonderful guidance, I had a great time!!

I felt so relaxed!!

初めてのマングローブカヤック最高でした！！

こっこーさんの素敵なアテンドで、楽しめました！！

癒されました！！

I participated with my grandparents in their 60s and my 4-year-old son. Woody, our guide, took more time than other teams for both the creature search and the starry sky photography. When we finally found a coconut crab, everyone applauded! My 4-year-old son seemed to really enjoy this tour and was the first to share his memories with his preschool teacher. Thank you very much!

60代のじいじとばあば、4歳の息子と参加しました。
生き物探しも星空撮影もガイドのウッディさんが他チームより時間をかけてくださり、ようやくヤシガニを見つけた時には皆で拍手喝采でした！
4歳の息子もこのツアーが気に入ったようで保育園の先生に真っ先に思い出話していました。笑
ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and I had a very enjoyable time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting. The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see calm seas and crystal-clear water, where we encountered many fish. I won't forget the color of the ocean. It was a wonderful experience.

お天気にも恵まれ、とても楽しい時間でした。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、面白かったです。グラスボートは海も穏やかで水も透き通っていてたくさんの魚たちに出会えました。海の色は忘れられません。とても素敵な体験でした。

Personally, I felt that the time spent at the Dinosaur Museum was a bit insufficient, but I think this tour is perfect for those who have other plans or are considering sightseeing in various areas.

Fukui Station, including the rotary and the surrounding area, is very clean and well-organized, making it easy to find the meeting place. When the bus arrives, the guide will confirm your reservation, so you need to show your voucher and follow their instructions for seating. The number of participants this time was around 5 or 6 groups of two on a Saturday in mid-February. The bus seemed new, and both the exterior and the seats were very clean. The seats can recline as well.

Once the bus departs on time, the guide greets everyone and shares various stories about Fukui. The guide for this trip was very skilled at storytelling, making the travel time informative and enjoyable. They provide information about the highlights of each sightseeing spot in advance, and you also receive a flyer with the meeting place, time, and emergency contact information, which is reassuring for the free time after the tour.

The Dinosaur Museum is a facility that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Since there isn't enough time to thoroughly view each exhibit, I recommend identifying the displays you want to see before arrival and ensuring you have time for souvenirs as well. Daishizan Seidaiji (Echizen Great Buddha) is overwhelming in size and number, from the building to the Buddha itself. It is a tourist spot that has only recently started to gain fame, and it is somewhat difficult to reach without a car, but the sightseeing time was just right.

Both the Dinosaur Museum and Daishizan Seidaiji are great places for taking wonderful photos, which is another positive point.

If you were to travel around using trains or other buses, it would take a lot of time and cost, so I believe this tour allows you to efficiently explore Fukui. Additionally, the bus was comfortable, and since you can leave your luggage on the bus while sightseeing, it made the experience easy and enjoyable.

個人的には恐竜博物館での滞在時間が物足りなく感じましたが、このほかに予定がある方や多方面に観光を考えてる型にはぴったりのツアーだと思います。

福井駅はロータリー含め駅周辺が大変綺麗で整頓されているため、集合場所もすぐに分かります。
バスが到着するとガイドさんから予約の確認をされるのでバウチャーを表示し、席を指定されるので指示に従って乗車します。
今回参加人数は2月中旬土曜で、2名組のお客さんが自分含め5、6組でした。
バスは新しいようで、外観も座面もとても綺麗です。リクライニングもできます。
定刻通りバス出発すると、ガイドさんから挨拶と福井について色んなジャンルの話をしてくださいます。今回担当だったガイドさんはお話がとても上手で、移動時間で福井に詳しくなれる有意義な内容でした。
目的地ごと観光先の見所を事前に教えてくれる上、集合場所と時間、緊急連絡先の載ったチラシも頂けるので解散後の自由行動時間内も安心でした。
恐竜博物館は大人も子供も楽しめる施設です。じっくり一つ一つの展示を見るには時間が足りないので、見ておきたい展示がある場合は到着前までに目処をつけておき、お土産の時間も確保しておくことをお勧めします。
大師山清大寺（越前大仏）は建物から大仏まで大きさと数の規模に圧倒されます。近年ようやく有名になりつつある観光地で、車がないとなかなか来れない場所であるのと観光時間もちょうど良い内容でした。
恐竜博物館も大師山清大寺も素敵な写真がたくさん撮れるのも良いポイントでした。

自分で電車や他のバスを利用して回るとなると時間もコストもかなりかかってしまうため、こちらのツアーはかなり効率よく福井を回ることができるんじゃないかと思います。
また、バス内は快適で、荷物もバスに置いて観光ができるため観光も楽々快適でした。

I enjoyed it as expected, but there was an unpleasant experience when boarding. Although the seats were supposed to be assigned, the bus company didn't know the seat numbers, which caused some confusion. I only received an email stating that the seats were assigned without any prior notification of the seat numbers. I would appreciate it if this could be clarified in advance next time.

期待通り楽しめましたが、乗車の際席が決まっているはずなのに、バス会社の方では番号がわからないとかで揉めてしまい、不愉快な思いをしました。事前にこちらにも座席番号の連絡もなく座席が決まったとのメールのみでしたので、事前にきちんとわかるようにしていただきたいと思います。

The starry night tour on Iriomote Island was an enchanting experience that made me forget about everyday life. The nights on the island, with almost no streetlights, are darker than I imagined, which makes the brilliance of the stars in the sky stand out even more.

As I gradually got used to the darkness with the guidance of our tour guide, countless stars that I initially didn't notice began to emerge one after another.

西表島の星空ナイトツアーは、日常を忘れるほど幻想的な体験でした。街灯がほとんどない島の夜は想像以上に暗く、そのぶん空いっぱいに広がる星の輝きが際立って見えます。

ガイドの方の案内で少しずつ目が暗さに慣れてくると、最初は気づかなかった無数の星が次々と浮かび上がってきました。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The islands had their own unique characteristics, and the rural feel was also very appealing.

It would be amazing to see the Iriomote cat.

天気に恵まれてとても楽しかったです
その島々の特徴があり田舎感がまた魅力がありました


イリオモテヤマネコが見れたら最高です

This time we had a Nepali guide. He was very kind and actively engaged with us Japanese tourists, creating an atmosphere where we felt comfortable asking questions. The explanations during the car ride were mainly in English and Chinese, but he also conveyed important points in Japanese, so we had a completely enjoyable day without any difficulties. Thank you very much.

今回はネパール人のガイドさんでした。
親切な方で、日本人にも積極的にお声がけくださり、こちらからも質問等しやすい雰囲気でした。
車中での説明は英語、中国語がメインのようでしたが、大切なポイントは日本語でも伝えてくださったので全く不自由なく楽しい１日になりました。ありがとうございました。

The beaches of Taketomi Island are so beautiful that they seem unreal. The bus guide on Iriomote Island was interesting and great!

竹富島のビーチがこの世のものとは思えないほどキレイ。西表島のバスガイドさん、話が面白く良かったです！

It was February, but we had the best temperature and enjoyed a relaxing mangrove canoe tour! The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy it at our own pace, which was great! We made some wonderful memories, thank you very much! ^_^

2月でしたが最高の気温で、穏やかなマングローブカヌーツアーができました！スタッフさんも優しく、自分達のペースで楽しむことが出来たので良かったです！とても楽しい思い出が出来ました、ありがとうございました^_^

It was very nice to cross to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were cute, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that there were few flowers since it wasn't the season for them, but I was able to take my time exploring places like the butterfly house. I think it would have been even better if I could have done some sightseeing on Iriomote Island as well.

水牛車で由布島へ渡るのがとても良かったです。
水牛も可愛いし、説明も分かりやすかったです。
由布島も季節ではなかったので花が少なかったのは残念でしたが、蝶々のハウスなどゆっくり見学する事が出来ました。
西表島の観光もできればもっとよかったと思いました。

The guide advised that if you want to have a meal at the Churaumi Aquarium within a limited time, it's more efficient to buy food from the shop rather than entering a restaurant. We enjoyed our meal on a bench before the aquarium tour and the dolphin show, and even with two and a half hours of sightseeing, we had plenty of fun. The view of Kouri Island was beautiful. It was a relief for me, as someone who doesn't drive, since it's a bit difficult to get to.

ガイドさんが限られた時間内で美ら海水族館で食事をとるならレストランに入るより売店で食べ物を購入した方が効率的とアドバイスして下さいました。
美ら海水族館の館内見学、イルカショー見学の前にベンチで食事、その後イルカショー見学で2時間半の見学時間でも充分楽しめました。古宇利島の景色は素敵でした。行きにくい場所なので車を運転しない私に有り難かったです

The driver was very kind, and it was fun. It was a fulfilling two hours. A group of ten adults on a friendly trip, everyone was satisfied.

運転手さんかとても親切で、楽しかった。
充実した２時間でした。
大人１０人の仲良し旅行、皆んな満足してくれました。

I participated because my 6-year-old son loves insects and creatures. He was super excited even before the night exploration began. We were lucky with the weather and got to see coconut crabs and natural owls. The starry sky was beyond our imagination, and it seems my son's interest in stars and space has broadened as well. Thank you for the easy-to-understand explanations and guidance.

6歳の息子が昆虫や生き物が大好きなので参加しました。夜の探検に始まる前から大興奮。天候にも恵まれ、ヤシガニや天然のフクロウも見ることができました。星空も想像以上で、息子も星や宇宙にも興味の幅が広がったようです。わかりやすい解説とガイドをありがとうございました。

The weather on the day was perfect, and the blue cave looked absolutely beautiful, which was truly moving. I was able to feel the mysteries of nature up close, making it a very special experience.

Our guide, Mako, was very cheerful and approachable, and the conversations were enjoyable, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. The explanations were clear, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. She also paid careful attention to the children, which was really helpful.

During snorkeling, we saw a lot of fish, and it was so exciting! The underwater world was even more beautiful than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

After that, I participated in a mangrove canoe tour. Our guide, Sugi, explained the ecology and characteristics of the mangroves in a very understandable way, which was very educational. Spending time in nature was truly refreshing and rejuvenating for my mind.

The guides were very kind and cheerful, maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout. The children got to ride on the SUP, which was thrilling! It was a rare experience that we don't often get to have, and I was very satisfied.

Both tours were truly wonderful and became the best memories of my time in Ishigaki Island. I would love to participate again!

当日はお天気も最高で、青い洞窟が本当に綺麗に見えて感動しました。自然の神秘を間近で感じることができ、とても特別な体験でした。

ガイドのmakoちゃんはとても明るくて親しみやすく、お話も楽しく、ツアー中ずっと楽しい雰囲気でした。説明もわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。子供にも丁寧に気を配っていただき、本当に助かりました。

シュノーケリングでは魚がたくさん見られて大興奮！海の中の世界は想像以上に綺麗で、大満足でした。

その後、マングローブのカヌーツアーにも参加しました。
ガイドのすぎちゃんは、マングローブの生態や特徴についてとてもわかりやすく説明してくださり、大変勉強になりました。自然の中でゆったりと過ごす時間は本当に気持ちよく、心までリフレッシュできました。

ガイドさんはとても親切で明るく、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。子供たちをSUPに乗せていただき、大興奮！普段なかなかできない貴重な体験ができて、大満足です。

どちらのツアーも本当に素晴らしく、石垣島での最高の思い出になりました。またぜひ参加したいです。

The bus guide shared enjoyable stories about Hokkaido, making the travel time both to and from the destination fun. At Asahiyama Zoo, we were blessed with good weather and had a great time walking slowly up the snowy slopes. I was especially looking forward to the penguin walk, and their adorable appearance did not disappoint. I was surprised by the unexpected size and behavior of the hippos (laughs). It was also a lot of fun to be so close to the animals, including the spotted seal, polar bears, and the muscular arms of the chimpanzees.

バスガイドさんは北海道の話しを楽しくお話ししてくれて往復共に楽しい移動時間でした。旭山動物園は天候にも恵まれ雪の坂道を焦らず歩きながら楽しい時間を過ごせました。楽しみにしていたペンギンの散歩も可愛らしい姿が見れました。予想外のカバの大きさや行動にびっくり（笑）他にもごまふアザラシやしろくまやチンパンジーの筋肉質な腕など動物との距離が近くてとても楽しかったです。

The guide was very polite and easy to understand. They explained everything using both English and Japanese. There was also a good amount of freedom at each location, and I was able to enjoy myself while listening to the explanations. There was plenty of time, and I felt it was a great experience to participate.

とても丁寧で分かりやすい対応のガイドさんでした。英語と日本語の両方を使い、説明してくれました。一つ一つの場所での自由さもあり、説明を聞きながらもしっかり楽しめました。時間も余裕があり、参加して良かったと思いました。

This tour, departing from Nagoya Station and lasting about 11 hours, allowed us to thoroughly enjoy winter in Gujo Hachiman, Hida Takayama, and Shirakawa-go. Before arriving at each destination, our guide provided suggestions on how to spend our time at each location, which was very helpful.

Additionally, at some of the stops, there was an option for those who wished to explore with the guide, allowing us to enjoy a stroll while listening to their explanations.

After departing from Nagoya, we encountered an accident that caused a section of the highway to be closed, so we had to take local roads for part of the journey, resulting in longer travel time than planned. However, the guide's suggestion to redistribute the sightseeing time at each location was optimal, allowing us to thoroughly explore all the destinations and have a fantastic time.

I am very grateful for their flexible responses. Thanks to the guide and the driver, we were able to spend a very meaningful day and create wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

名古屋駅発着で約11時間のツアーで、
冬の郡上八幡、飛騨高山、白川郷を大満喫できる内容でした。
各訪問地到着前にバス車内にてガイドさんが、各訪問地での過ごし方のご提案をしてくださり、とても参考になりました。
また、一部の訪問地では、希望者はガイドさんと一緒に散策をさせていただくことができる選択肢があり、ガイドさんのご説明を聞きながら、散策を楽しむことができました。
名古屋出発後、郡上八幡までの道中、高速道路が通行止めになる事故があったために一部区間において一般道での通行になり、
予定よりも移動時間を要しましたが、
ガイドさんの各訪問地観光時間の再配分時間のご提案が最適で、全ての訪問地をしっかりと観光ができ、大満喫できました。
臨機応変なご対応に大変感謝しています。
ガイドさんと、ドライバーさんのおかげで、とても有意義な一日を過ごすことができ、良い思い出を作ることができました。
どうもありがとうございました。

You can visit the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Enoshima. You can also visit famous locations that were featured in Slam Dunk via the Enoshima Electric Railway. Since this tour departs from Tokyo, I highly recommend it for those who have never been to Kamakura. We were able to efficiently see all the highlights. The tour was conducted in English, and I can’t thank our guide Alex enough for his hospitality. He was a great guide.

鎌倉大仏＋鶴岡八幡宮＋江ノ島を周れる。江の島電車でスラムダンクの舞台にもなった有名場所も訪れられる。東京から出発しているので鎌倉に行ったことない方は是非お勧めしたい。効率的に見所を周れた。英語での催行ツアーになったが、ガイドのAlexのホスピタリティには感謝しかない。良いガイドだった。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands, and the explanations made it a fulfilling day. The water buffalo was also working hard, and I felt like cheering for it. Keep it up!

手際よく3島巡れて説明もしてくれて充実した一日でした
水牛も頑張ってて応援したくなります
がんばってー

I once again thought that Nara is wonderful. I feel a familiarity with the Yamato language, and Mr. Takahashi feels the same way. The guide's talk was excellent.

改めて奈良素晴らしいと思いました。
大和言葉に親しみ感じ、高市さんも同じですね。ガイドさんのお話は素晴らしかったです。

I was glad I could visit the main attractions without having to drive or research where to go, thanks to this tour! The guide shared a lot of information about Ishigaki Island, which was also really great.

運転したりどこ行くか調べなくても、このツアーのおかげでメインどころ行けて良かった！
ガイドさんが石垣島のこと沢山お話ししてくれて、それもすごく良かったです。

Thank you for sharing various stories; it was interesting. Whether or not I had a bad experience probably depends on the members I was with (laughs).
(There was one person who was a bit too strong-willed, and that was the only disappointment.)
The starry sky was beautiful. Thank you for teaching me about the different plants, the topography of Ishigaki Island, and the insects.

色んなお話ししてくれて、面白かったです。嫌な思いするかどうかは一緒になったメンバーによるかな（笑）
（ひとりあくの強い人いてそれだけが残念でした）
星空まで綺麗でした。色んな植物や石垣島の形態、虫のこと教えてくれてありがとうございました。

The tour to Barasu Island was canceled due to the sea weather, but in the morning, I went to Yufu Island. There was a brief moment of sunshine, and while riding the water buffalo, the sun reflected off the waves, creating a beautiful scene. There were also places where we could take pictures with the water buffalo, and I enjoyed looking at the blooming flowers and walking along the beach. A quick stroll around Yufu Island allowed me to see everything within the time limit. It was just perfect for a leisurely walk.

In the afternoon, the mangrove canoeing was quite an adventure! The river leading into the mangrove forest had surprisingly strong winds (I think this was due to the weather on that day, haha). Once we entered the mangroves, it felt mystical; it was definitely worth the visit. On the way back, everyone from the tour worked together to cross the river (a collaborative effort right at the start of the new year).

It was a tour where I could feel the power and grandeur of nature. Overall, I had a great time!

海の天候でバラス島のツアーはキャンセルになったのですが、午前中に由布島行きに、晴れ間も一瞬広がって水牛に乗ってる間波に太陽が反射してとてもきれいでした。水牛と写真撮ってもらえるところもあり、咲いてる花をみたり浜辺歩いたり、由布島内散策もさーっと回れば時間内に全て見れました。あさんぽにちょうどよかったです。
午後からマングローブカヌーはもうアドベンチャー笑　マングローブ林に入るまでの川がびっくりするくらいの強風（これは天気の問題でこの日はこうだったんだと思います笑）
マングローブに入ると神秘的、これは行く価値ありです。帰りはツアー参加のみんなで力を合わせて川横断（新年早々の共同作業）
自然のパワーと壮大さを感じれたツアーでした。結果、とても楽しかったです♪

I was able to visit the main tourist spots on the island by bus, which made it easy and enjoyable. The bus guide's stories were interesting, and at the end, they even sang a song, which really got everyone excited.

バスで島のメインな観光スポットを回れたので、楽に楽しめました。またバスガイドさんの話が面白く、最後は歌も歌ってくださり、とても盛り上がりました。

The night tour on Iriomote Island was an experience that exceeded my expectations. The sky over the Yaeyama Islands, a designated starry sky preservation area, was filled with countless stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible, which was truly moving. Spending time gazing at the stars while listening to the guide's explanations was a real luxury.

In the forest, I encountered a large coconut crab, which was incredibly exciting. The banana trees illuminated by the moonlight and the coral reefs washed up on the beach were also enchanting, allowing me to fully enjoy the nighttime charm of Iriomote Island.

西表島のナイトツアーは想像以上にワクワクする体験でした。星空保護区の八重山の空には無数の星が広がり、天の川もはっきり見えて感動。ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら星を眺める時間は本当に贅沢でした。

森の中では大きなヤシガニに遭遇して大興奮。月明かりに照らされたバナナの木や、浜辺に漂着した珊瑚礁も幻想的で、西表島の夜の魅力をたっぷり味わえました。

The temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it a rough day for canoeing. Because of the bad weather, I had an unforgettable canoeing experience as I navigated through the mangroves, encountering various unexpected events along the way.

気温が低い上に風が強く、大時化でのカヌーでした。
天候が悪かったからこそ、ハプニングに見舞われながらマングローブをカヌーで巡る体験ができたので、一生忘れられないカヌー体験となりました。

It was cloudy, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but we encountered many creatures. Fortunately, we were able to see a wild coconut crab.

曇りだったため星空は見えませんでしたが、たくさんの生き物に出会えました。幸運なことに野生のヤシガニを見られました。
